Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 87

Lilian had no clue what was unfolding just beyond the door. At that moment, her entire focus was locked in a silent battle of wills with Sunny.

“You’re such a liar,” Sunny grumbled, his voice thick with frustration. “You promised you’d take me out to play. But you didn’t! You lied to me!”

Lilian lay back on the bed, her fingers scrolling lazily over her phone screen as she answered without looking up. “I told you to stay home, but you insisted on tagging along to Sandy River. Since we arrived, I haven’t had a single moment to rest. How exactly am I supposed to take you out now?”

Sunny let out a disgruntled huff, sprawling out beside her with a pout. “Then don’t shove me off with that dumb mosquito. I want to stay with you.”

Lilian gave a slow nod. “Fine. But don’t wander off. If you get lost, I’m flying back without you—and I’m not coming to find you.”

“Hmph! Like I’d ever get lost,” Sunny shot back with a proud smirk. Ignoring her after that, he turned away and scampered off to play by himself.

Just then, Lilian’s phone buzzed. An unknown number flashed on the screen. She answered cautiously. “Hello? Who’s this?”

“Lilian, it’s me.”

Sebastian’s deep, magnetic voice flowed through the line, sending a sudden flutter through her chest. For a brief moment, it felt as though he was whispering right into her ear again, just like the day he held her close.

“Why are you so quiet?” Sebastian asked, his rich tone laced with curiosity.

“Nothing… it’s just so late. Why aren’t you resting yet?” she replied softly, her voice clear but tender.

Hearing her voice, Sebastian’s dark eyes softened, even though she couldn’t see him. “Work isn’t finished yet. I missed you… I just wanted to hear your voice. What about you? Did you miss me?”

A warm blush crept over Lilian’s cheeks instantly. She stammered awkwardly, “I—I who said I missed you?”

Sebastian chuckled lowly, clearly amused by her bashfulness.

“Sebastian! Stop laughing or I’m hanging up!” she snapped, flustered but unable to hide her smile.

Suppressing his amusement, he asked, “Lilian, when are you coming back?”

She hesitated, raising an eyebrow. “Sebastian, how do you know I’m not in Solara? Are you tracking me?”

“Lilian, you mean more to me than my own life. I need to know where you are. I don’t want what happened last time to ever happen again. I won’t interfere with your life, but at least let me know where you are.”

His words sent a comforting warmth flooding through her veins. A complicated swirl of emotions filled her chest—hope, longing, fear, and something deeper. She realized she could no longer say no to him. No matter the pain she’d endured before, she had fallen for Sebastian completely, caught in the web he’d woven around her heart.

“Sebastian… will you promise to be good to me for the rest of your life?”

His voice was steady, unwavering. “Lilian, I, Sebastian, would rather betray the whole world than ever betray you. You’ve become my weakness, and I will do everything in my power to protect you and ensure your life is filled with peace and happiness.”

Morning in Sandy River carried the fresh scent of dew and new beginnings.

Lilian had planned to return home today, but after Sunny’s persistent begging, she decided to spend the day showing him around the city. After all, visits here were rare, and she wanted to make the most of it.

It was still early when she made her way downstairs. The house was quiet, empty of anyone else. After a simple breakfast, she stepped outside into the crisp morning air.

For once, she had a moment to breathe and unwind. She boarded the bus into town, noting how Sandy River still hadn’t fully blossomed—the housing prices remained reasonable, and the town retained a charming, unspoiled feel.

Thinking ahead, she had already asked Karina to research which real estate companies owned the undeveloped land in the area. It was clear the city would grow rapidly in the coming years, and she wanted to be prepared.

With that task in motion, she turned her attention back to Sunny, who was eagerly pulling her along as they browsed the shops.

Eventually, their wandering brought them to Rainbow Bridge Plaza.

The woman’s face darkened with fury. “So what? Do you even know who I am? How dare you try to take something I want!”

“Oh?” Lilian raised an eyebrow, her tone light and mocking. “And who exactly are you? Enlighten me—I’d love to see how a so-called heiress behaves.”

The woman was momentarily speechless, caught between lashing out and keeping her composure. Flustered, she turned to the man. “Garrett, she’s bullying me and you’re just standing there!”

Garrett had been staring at Lilian the entire time, stunned. Despite his experience with women, he had never encountered anyone quite like her.

The woman noticed his distracted gaze and exploded. “You little tramp! How dare you seduce someone else’s boyfriend?”

Her shrill voice drew the attention of passersby.

Garrett finally snapped out of his daze and pushed the woman’s hand off his arm. Walking over to Lilian, he smiled smoothly. “Hey, gorgeous. I’m the general manager of Skycorp. Would you honor me by letting me get to know you?”

Lilian wasn’t interested in entertaining either of them. She turned her back and headed toward the counter.

Garrett hurried after her. “Whatever you want, I’ll buy it for you.”

The woman watched the scene unfold, grinding her teeth in fury. Suddenly, she stormed forward and swung at Lilian—only to miss as Lilian deftly dodged.

The slap landed squarely on Garrett’s cheek with a loud smack, shocking everyone nearby.

Garrett clutched his face in disbelief. “You hit me?”

Panicking, the woman stammered, “I’m sorry, baby! I didn’t mean to! It’s her fault—she was seducing you!”

Ignoring the chaos behind her, Lilian calmly paid for the ring and walked out of the store without looking back once.
